Lots of Changes

Here is the gallery.

The pups have had a lot of changes since last night. They went upstairs to stay overnight without mom last night. You can see it in the gallery and the videos.

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.

How did they do? Much better than Yoshi who fretted all night and watched them on the ipad. I wasn't sure if her watching them or not was better but I didn't get much sleep. We are hopeful tonight is better.

They had accidents as the room was way too large and the pads way too far for them at this age. We will correct that tonight. But all and all they did wonderful. Yoshi not so much.

Then I took them upstairs to play in the hall and bedrooms. It was a first for them. They explored all over, played and was mighty comfie. Yoshi watched and played some with them. It was a huge success.

The pups are doing well. They are more than fine on multiple floor surfaces now with no slipping. 

They had fun and are now sleeping in their xpen for I imagine an extended session. 

Dennis got to sleep in his bed for the 1st time since Nami's pups were born. He has been sleeping or staying awake in the recliner. One forgets how hard it is to stay up all night, partially sleep during the day and do all the things that must be done. 

The pups are really wonderful beings!

Been watching the videos, amazing how fast they develop at this age. One is very vocal, maybe two of them? Which one is that? 🐶

No one is more vocal than the other. It depends on the situation - the reaction. Usually no vocal is experienced to be honest. Now Stryker will use his voice at times. lol
